Dr. Harry Spalding wrote recently that walls do not work.

If that is so, how come we are not overrun with escaped convicts? Try to explain to the people of Berlin, or the people of Eastern Europe, that walls do not work.

I recently attended “Tonys Beware” at Nelson County High School, in which all four of our local high schools were represented. I must say, what a great afternoon.

These performers did an excellent job, and I was highly impressed. Many of the performers were former students, and they all made me extremely proud.

How lucky are we to have these students showcase their talents. Thanks to everyone that was involved in this performance.

St. Vincent DePaul Outreach Ministries would like to thank the following businesses, agencies, and community individuals who helped make Christmas brighter for many community children, families, and senior citizens.
